2020-12-07 G L U T E N F R E E B R E A D Our customer @omniasweden recently published a recipe of dinner rolls, but since I only bake without gluten I used my own recipe of oat bread instead. Still learning how long (short!) time it takes to bake in the #omnia so the result will be better next time. But still delicious:) #vanlife #vanlifeeurope #vanlifeeats #glutenfreebread #veganbread

2020-12-05 A L M O N D S 🇵🇹 The almond blooming is peaking in February, but we can enjoy the beautiful flowers here and there already. Last seasons almonds are left on some trees. All just teasing us for what’s to come. This season I want to visit fields of almonds trees in bloom.

2020-12-03 C A B O D E S A O V I C E N T E 🇵🇹 Yesterday we took Vega for a spin to buy food. But we also went for a walk with beautiful views at the lighthouse near Sagres.

2020-12-01 H I S T O R Y L E S S O N 🇵🇹 Today is Portugals restoration of Independence Day. A holiday of great importance but without special celebration, as it seems anyway. The 1st of December 1640 Portugal revolted against Spain and regained its independence again. #restauracaodaindependencia #restauraçãodaindependência #welike_pt #wonderlustportugal #portugal_gems #sharing_portugal #wow_portugal #amar_portugal

2020-11-28 H O M E Since we don’t celebrate Christmas while living on wheels we do not decorate our home different in these times either. Love our orange colours, even the coffee thermos matches 🧡🧡

2020-11-25 E L V A S 🇵🇹 This town is our bucket list, but this time we just passed through on our way south. We will definitely go back when exploring Portugal is back on our to-do-list. Magnificent aqueduct and the castle we saw from a distance is shaped as a star.

2020-11-23 T I L E S O F P O R T U G A L Looked at a house today. So much was good and beautiful, for exempel these fantastic tiles in the hallway. But the property is located in a small valley, so the hours of sun is not enough for us.

2020-11-21 R O O M W I T H A V I E W 🇵🇹 This new campsite offering beautiful surroundings and views with all facilities you may need. Only every other pitch is used due to the COVID restrictions which give us a lot of space. Really like it here on @campingpuroalentejo and the super friendly hosts make our stay outstanding.

2020-11-18 A N T A D A C O U T A D A 🇵🇹 Yesterday’s walk took us to this impressive dolmen. We are in an area with a lot of rolling hills with cork oaks and bulls. Still have not found Ferdinand…. This landscape blows my mind away. We are so grateful to find such much joy and happiness in these difficult times.

2020-11-17 M O V E D T O A L E N T E J O We want to be in the region we think we will buy a property in. Need to feel the atmosphere and experience the winter climate. And it’s not wise to drive from Algarve for every viewing. A beautiful landscape on our drive here yesterday.

2020-11-12 O M N I A P R E M I E R E A parcel arrived to the camping. With an #omnia oven. Today I used it for the first time and I love to have an oven again. The cake with cardamom and gluten free flour was very tasteful! Tomorrow I will make the oat bread I always did in the oven in #frankieboy. Happy! Thanks for this smart solution for us and everyone else that don’t have an oven @omniasweden . And yes Vega is not in level so the cake is thicker on one side :)

2020-11-11 O L I V E S A R E R I P E 🇵🇹 A long day on the road, seen three properties. Now we are on our way back to Praia de Luz. Lovely gardens, all of them had trees with ripe olives. Along the roads we seen a lot of harvest workers. And Portugal is green again. The rain has made this country even more beautiful.

2020-11-07 S H E P H E R D S A N I M A L S 🇵🇹 Took a walk on the country side behind the campsite today. Big fields of avocado trees in straight lines. Dogs barking everywhere. And the shepherd with his long stick calling for his sheep, goats and donkeys with bells around their necks. Not only tourists in Algarve.

2020-11-05 P O R T U G U I S E V E G G I E S And fruit. I have missed this so much the six months we spent in Sweden. Everything tastes differently (much more) here. And we always shop at “our” lady along the N125 when in Algarve. She cannot speak a word English, she’s smiling all the time and talks a lot. And she informs about the origins. We only buy Portuguese crop. Best deals also. Can you guess the price for this? (1kg potatoes, 1 paprika, 1 mango, a bunch of cherry tomatoes, 3 big apples, 10 lovely satsumas, 1 huge garlic and 6 of the best soft avocados)

2020-11-03 R A I N B O W & S U N R I S E 🇵🇹 Not often I leave the bed early enough to see the sunrise. But yesterday I got rewarded with both a rainbow and beautiful light from the sun rising. #smallthingsmatters

2020-11-01 P R A I A D E L U Z 🇵🇹 A lovely hike with new friends gave us new insights and views. You can see Sagres far away. Thanks for a lovely day @cathinkai

2020-10-31 S T O N E & T I L E S 🇵🇹 Found the sofa for our future garden! The colours, the stone floor and the wall. Wow. My taste in every bit. Probably not so comfortable though…

2020-10-29 P R A I A D E L U Z 🇵🇹 So we ended up on the most luxurious camping in Algarve. Again. Planned for a couple of days to meet friends. But we’ll stay during this weekend holiday lockdown. On Saturday we will know more about coming regulations for Portugal and then we can make new decisions. Meanwhile we enjoy this place, it’s surroundings and time with friends.

2020-10-25 V I L L A G E S T R E E T S 🇵🇹 Shadows. Colours. Renovated. Not renovated. Moorish heritage. Tight. #algarve #moorisharchitecture #portugesevillage #wonderlustportugal

2020-10-23 A L G A R V E 🇵🇹 Arrived to Algarve yesterday. Today we went for a nice walk on the beach, with the feet in the water. Enjoying the moment!

2020-10-21 É V O R A 🇵🇹 Ermida de São Brás, a Catholic Church in Évora. More images from this popular city on our blog. Spent the weekend there, now we are more south in the Alentejo region.

2020-10-19 S E A R C H I N G F O R V I E W S 🇵🇹 This view is nice, the chair is very strategic placed in front of a castle (which we didn’t visit). Today’s road trip gave us a glimpse of areas we don’t want to live in but some spots we probably would appreciate as tourists. That is also good to know.

2020-10-16 W E E K E N D P A R K I N G 🇵🇹 After a week with lots of time on the roads we now pulled the hand break for the weekend. Doing laundry, sorting our thoughts and relaxing are the tasks for a couple of days. What are you up to this weekend?

2020-10-15 O L I V E O R C H A R D S 🇵🇹 When we suddenly ended up on a very dirty road of gravel at least I enjoyed the ride. Well the views I mean. In the middle of a huge area of olive trees.
